What Can Physical Therapy Do For You?

You may be wondering what physical therapy can do for you. Some common misconceptions of physical therapy is that it is only for people that have had surgery, their doctor sends them to a physical therapist and all the service entails is doing exercises. The truth is, physical therapists offer much, much more than just an exercise plan. Surgical rehabilitation is a small piece of the population that utilize physical therapy. In fact, physical therapy can actually help a person avoid surgery all together or assist them in a quick recovery by preparing the body with strength and stability. Physical therapy can help train a person to avoid the common mistakes that lead to pain and possibly surgeries. It can provide a person with pain relief, and ultimately give the patient the tools to maintain that pain free state on their own so they aren’t having to continue with therapy for an excessive time frame.
